Why the hang-up on Flash? What makes you think it is fundamentally better than RealPlayer?
Many of these techheads forget that many users in corporate environments don't have direct control over their PC. So they are unable to install or upgrade their PCs to run these tools.
Re: Why do RTE still insist in using Real Player on their site, while adverts use Fla
Noting wrong with Flash per say. It is more lightly to be on a PC than flash in a corporate environment. I have found over the years that that Real Player installs a lot of junk on the PC and tends to be buggy.
